    Only one that I haven’t done is paper checks. Those weren’t really a thing here.

    Of course, a few of those have come back around to be used by younger generations. There’s teens who rediscovered Polaroid and other film cameras in recent years. Ten years ago, cassettes saw a resurgence and vinyl was also selling well.

      They were. I remember going to a shop with my father to spend his checks before the banks phased them out. Even I had a checkbook that came with my children’s bank account.

      I think the phasing out happened in the 90s but apparently banks still accepted checks until 2021.
